  *1 Long Socket Hexagon Wrench 6
  - SST: 09729-97202
  without SST
  
  Torque: 33 N*m (340 kgf*cm, 25 ft.*lbf)
  
  with SST
  
  Torque: 29 N*m (300 kgf*cm, 22 ft.*lbf)
  
  HINT:
  - This torque value is effective when SST is parallel to the torque wrench.
  - This torque value can be obtained by using a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 300 mm (11.8 in.) and a SST with a fulcrum length of 40 mm (1.57 in.).
  - If using a torque wrench with a length that is not 300 mm (11.8 in.), calculate the torque specification for the torque wrench and SST based on the "without SST" torque specification. Refer to PRECAUTION .
